Fess Up Monday!

Did you write? Did you sell? How many words? Tell, tell tell!The Global Existential Threat Level remains at GUARDED.What a crappy week. I spent most of it trying to wrestle through plotting. Sometimes I THINK I know where the story should go, i.e. I want take the Path of Least Conflict and Easiest Writing. Then the words just run dry. Until I shake myself out of the stubborn desire to do it the easy way, I get nothing but frustration and irritation and it makes for a very crappy week.

Thanks, Joyce. ;-) I'm not really down, just tired. It's been a very busy couple of weeks and being able to write anything was a triumph.

The not trying hard enough thing referred to a quote I read recently, though I can't remember where or who said it. An unpublished author said that if she didn't get a rejection a day, she didn't think she was trying hard enough. I'm actually trying to finish off a rewrite of a requested complete ms.
